Antifreeze is sweet: animals...and sometimes children...are attracted to this common, but deadly, fluid. A simple bittering agent, denatonium benzoate would make this sweet,bright colored substance taste..yuck, and thousands of animals lives could be saved every year. Hundreds of children could be prevented from visiting emergency rooms. The cost minimal...just pennies per gallon. A small price to pay to save a life! Please help me get a bill introduced and passed into a law by signing this petition. I am eleven years old and lost my beloved golden retriever Sam and my faithful companion Jessie to intentional antifreeze poison. Two wonderful animals within days of one another. Please help me prevent other animals from suffering this horrible death. Please consider using your name instead of being anonymous this will help me with presenting the petition for consideration of a bill.
We are approaching the one thousand signature mark so I need everyone to step up right now. Post this link on your Facebook page and tag your local representatives to demand they support a bittering agent law. Do this today while we have momentum.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment, in my opinion and I believe that this opinion is shared by thousands if not tens of thousands that ethylene glycol antifreeze should be banned. This highly poisonous substance is killing thousands of innocent animals and could be replaced by propylene glycol antifreeze which is far less toxic at the very least a bittering agent such as denatonium benzoate could be added to ethylene glycol antifreeze to make it less appealing.
From what I can see petitions do absolutely no good whatsoever. The only course of action. I could see, is for a peaceful protest.

My cat died from this and the vet said it was antifreeze. It is so cruel that they dont put bittering agents in it already. This needs to change now.

If it costs pennies to save lives why are we even debating this. Make it a law.

A bittering agent is the bare minimum companies can do. stop letting them get away with this.
